Kokeshi are a precious gift for you and your loved ones, and symbolize in respect of Japanese tradition the fact of declaring your friendship or your love to the person who receives it. The Kokeshi Gokigen is carved from Mizuki wood, entirely painted and decorated by hand. "Gokigen" means "good mood", from the beautiful navy blue kimono with sparkling fireworks patterns that she wears. Did you know ?
